To see a cat in a dream shows your independent nature, feminine side and creativity. It could show someone who is plotting to stab you in the back or either good or bad luck- depending on the context and the superstition in your area. Cats are independent by nature, they are also fickle and they are loving- but on their own terms. When you see cats, you are exploring your independence or you’re making a decision you need to be picky over.

If you have become a “cat lady” in a dream (or you’re seeing a “cat lady”) you’re feeling more independent. You’re showing the nurturing side of your personality in a safer manner. Cats need cared for and kept safe but they are more independent than dogs or kids.
They are ideal pets for people who aren’t always home. Cats need attention but not too much. They show the need for people to be independent while also needing some attention. A cat lady isn’t a bad thing, but there is a strong stereotype.
If you’re a cat lady, it could show that you’re scared about being alone. You’re afraid that you will end up becoming one. It could also show that you’re not ready or wanting the responsibility of having a family or spouse. You are embracing the freedom that comes with that type of a lifestyle. It all depends on the context of the dream.
